Description:
Bankwatch undertook a Fact Finding Mission (FFM) – the basis of this report – in July (3-8) 2016 in order to understand how the preparation of the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) project in Albania is advancing. We focused on the issue of involuntary resettlement due to the fact that in Albania the TAP project is set to interfere with a large number of small farmers. We conducted our FFM mindful of the fact that the TAP project is being proposed for finance to a number of publicly owned international financial institutions (IFIs) which should – if they are to provide finance – ensure that the project complies fully with their policies. We conducted interviews with more than 80 family representatives from 32 villages along the TAP in Korca, Berat and Fier regions.
